A 'what the hell im in' trip. The scooter lot are going to Kelso rally so im going too, on my bike of course. Camping at the showground and already booked on to the local parkrun there We leave this Thurs morning and im almost packed. Andy hopefully will come up after work on saturday night. Drive back on sunday. Praying to the sun gods as we speak. Im going to try and go pro stuff this time. Im excited to try the new tent & the shredded memory foam pillow @Slowlycatchymonkey recommended looks plush. Ive also got a thick foam yoga matt for under my matress. Hopefully be a bit warmer. Think i need a bigger bike Still food to pack and other bits and pieces

I find temperature a personal thing, last night the wife froze and i had a lovely warm sleep all we had was one winter sleeping bag opened out like a quilt and a blanket which was on her not me

I remember camping in the lakes with Mandi and the kids. Kids slept through the night but me and Mandi were stuck together on an air bed trying to steal heat off each other. We camped far to close to the water for the time of year,

Apparently it's you at 5.15 pm

Oh bugger.

You miserable bastards.

Hopefully every one will be waving little plastic flags and having silly little street parties and getting pissed .... which will mean not much traffic about on the roads ... could be bike action .

tyms got my vote vote... purely for the complete... cant be arsed and lack of effort he's put in to his entry

Surely you must have the bike in your possession to enter this …. Just satin

Bottom line is this! We've got a good forum going here without any of the negatives that you find in some other places. I'm talking about cliquiness, Admin/Mod power trips, rules being applied in different ways to different people, no paid subscriptions, no ads, and no female members are getting harassed via PM's or on the board. It ain't perfect, but it's a damn sight better than most out there. We've had our critics because of the laddish banter......but hang on, take a look at the Ride Reports section. Show me a UK based forum that measures up to that......you won't be able to. So yeh.....we talk! Yeh....we're laddish in our behaviour. But we also ride......which is a fuck sight more than you can say for most of the blowhards on forums out there. Certain aspects of the forum activity may appeal more to you than other aspects. And the reverse could be true for somebody else. We're all different.....so get involved in the areas you like, and ignore the ones that you don't like. Same applies to members as well. From time to time there can be misunderstandings of course. But there's nothing that can't be resolved if you just make me aware of it. To summarise, there's a lot of work has gone into this place......and it still goes on. Money's been spent on it......and it'll continue to be spent. That's a commitment I'm prepared to make, and I'm quite happy to do it! All you have to do is bring your personality, experience, and enthusiasm to the forum......and help us improve it. After all, it's as much your forum as mine......we're all in it together you know.

That was mine Friday.

Oh in that case im a bit sorry.....

I did a pub quiz followed by a birthday drink on Thurdsay night after work. We always come second in this particular quiz because the usual winning team always ace it in the 'music intro' round. Strangely the team leader always seems to play with his computery type watch during that round, we are sure there is a connection there, but not being as clever as them we can't work it out. Then on Friday morning I did a zoom meeting with my boss who told me I have to give more work to my underlings even if they fuck it up. Christmas came early. Friday afternoon me and my mate were waiting to hear if a concrete mixer had turned up at a third mate's house as we would be laying a concrete base for a small shed. Luckily it was late so we went out to Birthday drink number 2 at the same pub, this one was for Ted, 75 this year. Ted is currently umming and arring about changing his bike yet again. These old codgers are never happy with the bike they have I have found!!!!! Saturday morning a little worse for wear the concrete mixer has turned up so it was 4 hours of shovelling, mixing, plopping and tamping down the concrete base. I don't ache as much today as I thought I would, must be because we dug the bloody thing out last week and there are no back muscles left to upset. Halfway though mixing and laying I got a phone call from Ted. Trying to get my concrete covered gloves off and the phone out of my pocket I missed the call, so had to ring him back. Turned out he was outside the back garden on one of his son's motorbikes to show us. I opened the garage door and there he was on a Suzuki 1000 V Strom which he is thinking of buying when his son's PCP ends soon. He had one about 10 years ago and got rid of it because he was having trouble pushing it about as he got older.

This photo got me a warning from the farcebook police!

mine, amongst the Douro vines

Better get one in since i'm not here on the weekend

Just finished that off for you LOL

Don't you need a running bike?

I'm going to buy shares in rok strap before you discover how much lashing thats going to take Good luck hope the weathers on your side and your new gear does the job

You need a nice Teutonic Oil Belcher you do!

Come here then

Don’t you think you are strange enough @XTreme.

Sorry i have missed this. Yes we are able to take his dad round the isle of wight this time. Andys bike has the back box and rest and is more secure.

Here we go…. What’s happened then …. Someone flounced

Everyone has A/C over here, even the homeless, they give them a/c too.

And no air con

Personally I've only ever put one person on ignore on any forum. There are other ways to deal with shit that you really don't agree with. I just take a little holiday from the forum , that way I won't say something I may regret later, plus I don't have to read the crap then.

For a change …. I’m a bit offended .

Happy Sunday

on a related note i can highly recomend this go pro ten, first go pro i;ve liked using.

Next to a wooden guard rail?

Needy cunts, you are not going to vote for it anyway.

And here's the Teutonic Oil Belcher in happier times.......
